Aspen is a place for leaders to lift their sights above the possessions which possess them. To confront their own nature as human beings, to regain control over their own humanity by becoming more self-aware, more self-correcting, and hence more self-fulfilling.

Digital Equity Frontiers: A Conversation on Digital Identity for Financial Inclusion in Mexico and Latin America
On March 4, 2025, the Aspen Institute convened a one-day, invitation-only event, bringing together key stakeholders from the private, public, and nonprofit sectors to explore how digital identity can expand financial inclusion and foster economic opportunity in Latin America by integrating individuals and small businesses into the formal financial system.
Through the collaboration of public and private sectors, and by leveraging innovative technologies and insights from consumer advocates about what is needed to reach historically excluded populations, the conversation has shifted toward practical solutions to unlock the tools that are essential for every household’s financial security and every country’s economy.
This Rapporteur’s Report provides a summary of the event and its proceedings.
